2013 TEMAC Indoor Funfly

Sunday evening, Dec. 29, 2013, from 6pm to 10pm

Metro Toronto Golf Dome, 125 Milner Ave, Toronto, ON

TEMAC members get exclusive opportunity to fly before non-members are invited.
The event is limited to approx. 40 flyers.  TEMAC members wishing to participate must make their reservations here in this thread on this website.  The cost of participation for members is $15 for those who confirm early.  Payment accepted at the event only. If enough members do not confirm participation by Nov. 29, 2013, then the event will be opened to any MAAC member. at which time the cost will be $20.

This will be an informal and casual funfly, with as few rules as possible, of course maintaining all safety rules as per MAAC.  2013 MAAC membership is required.  Depending on models at the event, time may be allocated to different types of flying: slow-flying, aerobatic, 3D, etc. This will be decided at the event.
2.4ghz transmitters are recommended, but a frequency board will be used if at least one person requests it beforehand.

Depending on suggestions, we may have one or two short contests, and perhaps some prizes.  Food is not provided, although the venue usually has some snacks, drinks and pizza for sale.
Any suitable indoor model airplane is allowed.  Helicopter models are limited to the micro single-cell battery type.

This thread will be monitored by Michael and Jack. An up-to-date flyers list (below) will be maintained on this website.
